As the Flyers' demise continues on this eight-game losing streak, one of the biggest things that stands out is the third period. Since the slide began, the Flyers have been outscored 10-2 in the third frame.

“I said it before the game: I understand from a player’s standpoint, the frustration that comes tonight right at this point in time,” coach Dave Hakstol said. “I said it earlier, we have to have a short memory on it because we have to turn around and play (Tuesday) night because that’s our next opportunity and bottom line you can overthink it or put any terminology that you want on it, bottom line is we have to go out and play another good hockey game and push to get a win.”

2. Find some emotion

The Flyers have reacted like a team that's been beaten down and not like a team that's angry. Even if they are beaten down if they continue to be robotic in how they carry themselves they are going to have a much harder time breaking out of this slump.

3. Goalie matchup

Michal Neuvirth will likely be between the pipes for the Flyers in the second half of this back-to-back. He has a 2-3-0 record in six career games against the Sharks with a 2.26 goals-against average and .925 save percentage.

Aaron Dell looks to be the guy in net for San Jose. Dell, who played under Dave Hakstol at North Dakota, has appeared in two games against the Flyers and has stopped 54 of 56 shots he's faced.
